A Most Wanted Man Page #5

Dr. Abdullah, may I introduce

your benefactor, Issa Karpov,

and his lawyer, Miss Richter.

I wish to speak with Issa alone.

Of course.

Miss Richter?

Please tell me,

why you have decided

to make this generous gift?

Are you under duress?

No.

Look at me.

It is unclean money, sir.

It belongs to a man who

has done great evil.

My father.

I wish to be free of him.

Whose sins do you renounce

by making this gift?

The sins of my father.

And your own sins?

I believe you feel lost,

without God or love.

You must choose the path of Allah.

Only then

will you be truly free of this burden.

I am satisfied, Mr. Brue,

that his offer is genuine.

Wonderful.

This is a list of charities,

with their banking details,

for your verification.

Please.

It seems in order.

I will await further instruction.

Michael.

Welcome to Berlin.

Everyone got my report?

Yes.

You need to concentrate on

Burgdorf, Ministry of the Interior.

The final decision will be his.

I'm going to need passports

for Karpov and the Turks.

We don't do passports.

He gave the lawyer his word.

I did, and this time

I want it to mean something.

It's up there.

We've checked

every name on the charity list.

They're all clean.

Herr Bachmann, please.

You're looking at me, at us,

but we don't exist, not

legally, not officially,

because German intelligence

needs a job to be done

that German law won't let it do,

so me and my people we stay small.

We stay on the streets.

We make the weather.

Our sources don't come to us, we find them.

We become their friends.

Their brothers, their fathers,

their lovers, if we have to.

When they're ours, and only then,

we direct them at bigger targets.

It takes a minnow to catch a barracuda.

A barracuda to catch a shark.

I don't fish, Herr Bachmann.

It's a metaphor, Erhardt.

Just a metaphor.

We take our time.

We watch. We wait.

We see what Allah provides.

Well, this time Allah has provided

Issa Karpov and his ill-gotten millions.

As you can see from

the report my team has compiled,

Dr. Abdullah has provided

an extensive list of his favorite charities

to be the recipients of those millions.

Each one of those charities

has been CIA cleared.

It is my belief he will replace

one of the names on this list with another.

Seven Friends Navigation Company.

What kind of proof can you show us?

Proof is what we're looking for.

If this Abdullah,

if this barracuda,

if I've understood the metaphor,

takes the bait,

with what leverage

will you secure his cooperation?

On the negative,

threat of prosecution, prison,

public humiliation,

discrediting of his charities,

deportation of his wife and children.

I choose the positive.

Amnesty, citizenship, for which he

has applied half a dozen times.

Now we are offering citizenship

to financiers of terror?

You are all familiar

with the operational plan?

We have three hours to apprehend Abdullah

and make him ours

and get him back home

before anyone notices.

And if he does not comply?

Then he's yours.

Do with him whatever you need to do.

And Issa Karpov?

He's to be left alone.

In my eyes it's unacceptable.

Find someone else

to parade before the cameras.

That was agreed.

He has our protection.

Martha, what is the American perspective?

Maybe if you could define for us

what you think

the long-term objective would be.

What are we trying to achieve?

To make the world a safer place.

Isn't that enough?

Mr. Brue?

Tomorrow morning.

Thank you for letting me know.

How are you feeling?

Good.

You drop him at the bank

and then you disappear.

Do you understand?

You are forcing me to betray my own father.

You are not betraying him.

You are saving him.

That is an act of love.

He's been granted asylum.

It was the best I could do.

I gave you Issa.

Lssa gives you Abdullah.

What's next?

What will you do to him?

- To Abdullah?

- Yes.

Nothing bad.

I promise.

Look.

What does this mean?

It means you can stay.

I have something for you.

- Doctor.

- Hello, Mr. Brue.

This confirms

the receipt of funds from Mr. Karpov

in to your new account we've set up here.

These are the charities you specified

with their bank details.

Each of the transfers is logged

in to our system and is ready to go.

Would you please check all the details?

The name of the account holders and

the money assigned to each recipient

and then authorize each one

with your signature.

I would like to make a substitute.

I need to change a name.

Seven Friends Navigation Company?

Yes.

It is a shipping company,

but one whose business is charity.

We can have all the aid in the world

but it's worthless unless you can

get it to the people who need it.

Yes.

All right.

Your final signature.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me.

Unfortunately my son is delayed.

Allow us to call you a taxi.

- I'm going in.

- Good luck.

Right.

Yes.

Taxi for Brue Frres.

A pleasure.

My direction, Blankenese.

Stay back!

Wait.

Stop! What are you doing?

- Wait.

- No!

No.

Lssa!

- What's going on?

- No!

No!

Stand up.

No!

No!

Lssa, no!

Stop it! No!

No, Issa!

F***!

F***!
